But are they all the same Mass if they are all in different languages? The Latin Mass gives the Church a unifying feature that no matter where in the world you are you will hear the same.
Latin is almost a dead language, used primarily for interpreting historical texts and in scientific terminology. Having it as the primary language of the mass when no one speaks it is a bit of an issue.

Wrong.
Coptic Egyptians still speak ancient Egyptian. Jews with Hebrew. Assyrians still speak Aramaic.
These languages survived and revived because they were used for liturgy.
They've decided the same topics is enough magic. The language isn't as important my more.
